<p>That doesn't stop the theists who have no freaking clue or just lie freely, as many do.</p>

<p>In a March 24,1954 letter he indicates that people have falsely accused him of believing in a god. Per the article of this discussion:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>In a March 24, 1954 letter, he is quoted as writing, "It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly.</em></p>

<p>I agree that it should be in a museum. However, I don't know how absolutely it is part of history. If it were destroyed a debate could open as to what supposed copies of it were authentic and which were not.</p>

<p>Even if purchased and destroyed, it is now part of the historical record and well documented. It deserves a prominent place in the Smithsonian or American Museum of Natural History ... not in someone's house.</p>

<p>I posted the same discussion in the Atheist News group and the member, David W, there had the same concern:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>Nice. I wouldn't put it past some wealthy religious person or group to purchase the letter and then ceremoniously destroy it.<br/></em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>The opening bid was supposed to be $3,000,000.</p>

<p>This letter risks being sold very expensively. I have written about it before on a thread in Atheist Nexus, and suggested that I fear that some christian or Jewish billionaire will buy it in order to destroy it.</p>
